dev_tools
According to the GitHub Blog, GitHub recently cleared over twenty thousand secret scanning alerts accumulated across fifteen thousand repositories in just nine months. The real challenge wasn't catching the secrets—it was managing the false positives and aged issues at that scale. By building smarter triage and remediation workflows, they reached inbox zero: a clean security state where alerts don't pile up. The takeaway: secret scanning at scale is a systems problem, not just a detection tool.
